Part 2: I think this picture helps describe and sum up the community in most of the south. There is a sign that says the "Best service for colored people" and its on a run down street and worn down building, it might have been the the best service but it was awful compared to the white people. Besides being second rate it was also segregated, equality was yet established.

This is another great photo of the South during the Depression. Here an African women works the fields of a large plantation. This was common during this era, women were often household maids or field hands for very little pay just to get by.
The photo below shows the harshness of the great depression. Here a man by the name of Noah lives with his family in a small shack on bad grounds. Most people were just trying to get by and were forced to live in harsh conditions as seen here.
